undefeated in The Summit League with a win over the Mastodons on a windy Sunday
in Brookings, S.D.

Kingston,
a transfer, scored two goals for the Jacks, the first coming in the 22nd
minute on a cross from Kayla Braffet. Kingston took the ball out of the air and
placed it inside the near post.

The
score was 1-0 at halftime, as SDSU controlled the ball despite being against a
strong wind.

It
did not take long for SDSU to add to its lead.

Fifteen
minutes into the second half, Miller received a pass from Christa Nyblom and
finished from the top-center of the box, putting the Jacks up 2-0.

The
goal was her first of the season.

to create scoring opportunities.

In
the 89th minute, Kingston added another goal, putting an exclamation point on
the already impressive performance. Miller was credited with the assist.

The
Jacks outshot IPFW 22-2 in the game, including an 8-0 shots on goal advantage.

streak to 589 minutes; 560 to start conference play. In addition, the Jacks did
not surrender a shot on goal.

The two teams do not have a common opponent this
season.

schedule with a loss to league newcomer Omaha. The Mastodons dropped a 1-0
decision in Omaha, Neb. Fort Wayne faces SDSU travel partner NDSU on Sunday.

Oakland Golden Grizzlies - SDSU faces Oakland for the
eighth time in school history. Oakland leads the all time series 4-2-1. Oakland
is 3-0-1 in the last four meetings, two of which were last season. SDSU's last
win was in 2008; a 1-0 win at The Summit League Championship in Macomb, Ill.
SDSU is looking for its first win over the Golden Grizzlies in Rochester, Mich.

Last season, SDSU tied Oakland 0-0 (2 OT) in the
regular season, but was defeated in The Summit League Championship 1-0 in
Rochester, Mich.

On
a cold Friday night in Brookings, S.D., the South Dakota State women's soccer
team could not heat up the net, tying Oakland, 0-0 (2 OT).

The
Jackrabbits dominated the game statistically, but could not find the go-ahead
goal.

SDSU
outshot the Golden Grizzlies 17-5, including an 8-0 shots on goal advantage. In
addition to the eight shots on goal, the Jacks had two shots hit the crossbar.

In
the 84th minute, Kayla Braffet hit a shot from just outside the box. The ball
cut through the air towards the far post, striking the crossbar and bouncing
straight down before being cleared out by an Oakland defender.

In
the second overtime period, Caylee Costello also had a shot hit the
crossbar. The shot deflected away from the goal and out of danger.

Aside
from two shots that were saved by Oakland's goalkeeper, these were the best
scoring opportunities the Jacks had all night.

and Kelsey Ferguson led the offensive attack with four shots apiece. Christa
Nyblom took three shots, all of which were on goal.

The
starters accounted for 16 of the Jacks 17 shots. SDSU also led in corner kicks,
3-2.

In
The Summit League Championship semifinal, the Golden
Grizzlies got an early goal and SDSU could not find its way through the Oakland
defense.

Six minutes and seven seconds into the game, a
clearance was controlled by the Golden Grizzlies' forward and immediately
played back into the box. The through ball found its mark and Oakland took a
1-0 lead.

The Jacks responded defensively, as Oakland continued
to press but could not add to its lead.

The halftime score was 1-0 at halftime.

The second half was rather quiet for both teams, as
OU moved into a defensive formation. The two teams went back and forth on
counter attacks, but neither team could find the net.

The Jacks had a couple of decent scoring
opportunities, but solid play by the Oakland defense and some unlucky breaks
kept the score at 1-0.

The final effort for SDSU came on a set play, as the
ball was loose in the box. Kayla Braffet got a piece of it, but between the
bounce and OU defender, the shot sailed high and the clock eventually ran out.

SDSU did not find the equalizer.

The two teams do not have a common opponent this
season.

Last weekend, Oakland opened its conference schedule
with a win over Omaha. The Golden Grizzlies bested the Mavericks 1-0 in Omaha,
Neb.

Oakland hosts North Dakota State on Friday.
